Harvest & Clarification Equipment is a critical component of downstream bioprocessing, responsible for efficiently separating biomass and cellular debris from the product-containing supernatant following fermentation or cell culture. These systems are essential for improving yield, reducing processing times, and ensuring a clean feedstream for subsequent purification steps such as tangential flow filtration (TFF) and chromatography. At Wasteless Bio, we offer a wide range of filtration and centrifugation-based cell harvest systems to meet the diverse needs of biotech and biopharmaceutical manufacturers.
During the harvest phase, the primary objective is to separate cells—whether bacterial, yeast, or mammalian—from the culture medium in which biotherapeutics such as monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), recombinant proteins, or viral vectors are produced. Depending on the scale and cell type, this can involve depth filtration, microfiltration, or high-speed centrifugation. These systems are designed to minimize product loss, maintain protein stability, and reduce bioburden before further purification.
Our listings include compact bench-top centrifuges for lab-scale bioreactors as well as large-scale, continuous centrifugation units for industrial harvests. For filtration-based approaches, we feature depth filter housings, disposable filter modules, and microfiltration skids that offer scalable solutions from development labs to full-scale GMP facilities.
At Wasteless Bio, you can find equipment from top-tier brands such as Pall, Sartorius, MilliporeSigma, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Eppendorf—offering proven performance at a fraction of the original cost. Each unit listed includes key specifications such as flow rate, volume capacity, and compatibility with various cell types or filter materials, helping you find the right fit for your bioprocess.
By sourcing pre-owned harvest and clarification equipment from Wasteless Bio, you can lower capital expenditures while supporting circular economy practices in life science manufacturing. Ensure a clean, efficient start to your downstream processing pipeline with our reliable, cost-effective cell harvest and clarification systems.
